Amazing Mountain stay
From the check in and arrival to the vacation time spent onsite and even the check out process, it couldn't have gone better. The place is so well thought out. The kids loved the hot chocolate, the adults loved the baby gate at the top of the stairs. The place is so clean and comfortable. The hosts offered dining recommendations upon request, in a jiffy. We enjoyed Snow Valley, Santa's Village, and more all in our stay at this amazing spot.

Winter Getaway
The property is very nicely decorated & comfortable with a close drive to both Big Bear & Arrowhead. The kitchen was easy to cook in as we ate most meals at home - be sure to bring your own measuring spoons/cups. We used the jacuzzi daily during our 4 day visit which was great but you may want to bring extra towels as there is only one towel provided per guest with no access to a washer & dryer. The host called us when we arrived to inform us that we were an hour early & hadn’t properly registered our dogs as she had seen on the house cameras. We got back in our cars and went across the street for lunch while we did the needed dog paperwork/ payment & to wait for the appropriate check in time. It definitely brought the vacation excitement level down & put us on edge for the rest of our trip.

The Lightning Lodge is Above and Beyond in Every Way!
Our stay at The Lightning Lodge was pure magic! Seamless check-in, responsive hosts, and thoughtful pre-arrival planning ensured a stress-free experience. The cabin, perfect for four adults and two pups, exceeded expectations with its hip, yet charming decor and well-equipped kitchen. There's plenty to do at the cabin with a hot tub, multiple 4K TVs (with streaming and cable), games and a turntable. There's even an acoustic guitar for fireplace singalongs! Come bedtime, the high-quality mattress and linens contributed to some of the best sleep we've ever had, leaving us refreshed and ready to explore Running Springs each morning.
What truly set Lightning Lodge apart was the hosts' outstanding dining and activity recommendations. From the initial planning phase and even during our stay, every suggestion felt tailor-made for our group. We were blown away by the abundance of things to do and eagerly anticipate returning.
In conclusion, Lightning Lodge exceeded expectations, blending thoughtful design, local charm, and warm hospitality seamlessly. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a family retreat, it's an unbelievable gem deserving of more than five stars. We're already planning our next escape to this incredible mountain haven!
